Sir my query is with psychiatrist. Sir I have read article in the google where it has mentioned that most people take ssri, snri and tricyclic antidepressant will feel some degree of genital numbing, often within 30 minutes of the first dose of drug. Some people develop sexual side effects which either remain in full or does not resolve completely even after the discontinuation of drug. Is it true that anti depressant put effect on genitals leading to sexual dysfunction and the sexual side effects if occur, be permanent. please reply me.
